The Immerse programme has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my whole life, to be honest! In psychology I’ve studied behavioural psychology, cognitive psychology, and we had a whole day to study gender and sexuality because it’s my tutor’s specialty.
For my personal project, I decided to do research about the correlation between the time adolescents spend on their phone and their levels of concentration. We learned about the aspects of the experiment that we could improve upon, such as the diversity of people asked, and the variation of demographics.
I really enjoyed the London and Oxford excursions, but I’d say the Oxford one was my favourite, because it looked like home for me – it reminds me of Brazil for some reason! I loved it, and London was also amazing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Psychology?
It’s the scientific study of the human mind and behaviour. Its major sub-fields include cognitive processes, human development, and counselling.
Why is it important to study Psychology?
There are 4 official goals why scientists study Psychology: to describe, explain, predict, and change. First, it’s vital to describe actions to discover general laws of human behaviour. In doing so, one can explain why human beings exhibit such behaviour.
With the “what” and “why” in place, psychologists can predict how people will act under specific circumstances. So they can then intervene and change harmful behaviours and improve the patient’s quality of life.
These goals underlie a therapist’s ability to intervene and assist patients with better mental health habits.
Are you passionate about mental health? If your answer is “yes,” then studying Psychology will be an integral part of your life.
Understanding the basic principles of how the human mind works will help you better control your daily actions. From the food you eat to the amount of money you spend. And it even makes you more capable of handling the stresses and trials of life.

An Introduction To Psychology
You’re aware that Psychology studies the human mind and behaviour at this point. And yet, that in itself is a broad definition because it raises more questions than answers. This module tackles how psychologists study the way human beings think, feel, and decide. What are the unconscious elements and neural mechanisms underlying these processes?
Behavioural Genetics: Nature Vs. Nurture
The common belief is that much of a person’s psychological traits come from genetic factors. But how far does genetics go? To what extent do a person’s environment and upbringing affect their thinking and behaviour? In this session, check out how advances in biotechnology shed much light on these questions. It has transformed the way we study genes and behaviour.
Cognitive Psychology: Seeing And Remembering
Do you often think that your memories and senses reflect the truth? Much psychological research points otherwise. In this class, you will discover how the human brain is prone to cognitive illusions. As a result, we often see things that aren’t there. And we tend to miss out on what’s obvious.
